Servo Angle From Pulse
Map a hobby servo pulse width between 500 and 2500 microseconds to a signed angle with the documented linear scale of 1000 to 2000 microseconds covering -90 to +90 degrees, clamping extended-range pulses to the endpoints.

How Servo Angle From Pulse works
Map a hobby servo pulse width between 500 and 2500 microseconds to a signed angle with the documented linear scale of 1000 to 2000 microseconds covering -90 to +90 degrees, clamping extended-range pulses to the endpoints. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Angle (°)
- Commanded angle clamped to the -90 to 90 degree range.
Limitations and assumptions
- Pulse width, angle, speed, and step relationships depend on controller convention, gearing, microstepping, load, supply, deadband, mechanical stops, acceleration, missed steps, and calibration. Commanded position is not necessarily achieved position.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
